Can the Phased Array System Toolbox "pattern" function return both horizontal and vertical patterns for a polarized antenna?

I have a polarized antenna for which I want to obtain the horizontal and vertical patterns using the following Phased Array System Toolbox function:

pattern(element,FREQ)

Is it possible for the function to return both of these with one call by the user?

The "pattern" function cannot return both horizontal and vertical patterns in one call. The output you desire can be obtained by calling this function twice with different settings for the "Polarization" parameter to gain access to both.

The "combined" option for the "Polarization" argument for this function combines the two, but does not allow you to access each pattern separately. Please see the following documentation page for more information:
